Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a mounting structure for a vehicle garnish, and particularly to a mounting structure for a garnish provided at a ventilation opening or the like on a side surface of a vehicle body.

When attaching a large garnish to a vehicle body, the conventional method has been to tighten screws from the front at key points around the garnish, which has the problem of not only looking unsightly but also being time-consuming to install.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above-mentioned problems, the present invention has an object to provide a reliable and easy-to-install mounting structure, especially for a garnish provided in a ventilation opening of a vehicle body.

That is, in the garnish mounting structure of the present invention, a protrusion is provided on the back side of one opposing side of the garnish that is fitted into an opening in the vehicle body, and the protrusion is attached to the edge of the body opening opposite to the one side. A locking member is provided on the edge surface and forms a gap between the locking member and the edge surface. Further, the other side of the garnish and the edge surface of the body opening opposite thereto are each formed with a bent portion toward the interior of the vehicle. Then, the protrusion is fitted obliquely into the gap so that its tip is brought into contact with the edge surface, and its intermediate portion is brought into contact with the surface of the locking member opposite to the edge surface, and in this state. The bent portion on the other side of the garnish and the bent portion on the opposite edge side are fixed by screws.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained with reference to illustrated embodiments.

In FIG. 1, an air inlet garnish 1 is attached to a quarter panel A of a vehicle.

As shown in FIG. 2, the garnish 1 is a rectangular resin integrally molded product with a frame 11 formed on the periphery, and the interior is divided into left and right halves, with the divided parts 12a and 12b each forming a chevron-shaped concave shape toward the back side. There is. A large number of partition walls 13 are formed vertically in parallel on one inclined surface of each of the divided parts 12a and 12b, and the ventilation holes E
It is as follows.

The garnish 1 having the above structure is the third
Ventilation opening A1 in quarter panel A as shown in the figure.
It is arranged to cover. The opening A1 has a rectangular shape, and its peripheral edge is bent inward of the vehicle (upward in the figure) to form a seat surface A2, and a duct (not shown) for supplying outside air to the interior of the vehicle via a seal member 2 is provided on the seat surface A2. The opening edge of D is arranged. A ring-shaped retainer 3 is brought into contact with the edge of the opening from the outside, and the retainer 3 is fixed to the seat surface A2 with screws at key points (not shown).

Now, on one side of the rectangular garnish 1, protrusions 16 are formed at a plurality of locations on the back surface along this side toward the outer circumferential direction, and these protrusions 16
project obliquely inward toward the retainer. On the other hand, the retainer 3 is provided with a locking member 4 shown in FIG. 4 at a position corresponding to the projection 16. The locking member 4 has one end of the plate material riveted to the retainer 3, the other end screwed together with the retainer 3 to the seat surface A2, and the central part bent in a chevron shape to form a gap 4a between it and the retainer 3. are doing. As shown in FIG. 3, the projection 16 is obliquely fitted into the gap 4a. In the fitted state, the tip of the protrusion 16 comes into contact with the surface of the retainer 3, and the intermediate part of the protrusion 16 contacts the retainer 3.
It comes into contact with the 4 surfaces of the locking member facing the surface. In this manner, the diagonally extending protrusion 16 is brought into contact with the opposing surfaces of the retainer 3 and the locking member 4, thereby ensuring secure locking without play.

The retainer 3 corresponding to the other side of the garnish 1 has a plurality of extending portions 31 extending inward of the vehicle as shown in FIG. 5, and the extending portion 31 is provided with a hole 31a. As shown in FIG. 3, the extending portion 31 has its tip bent inward of the vehicle along the side wall 15 of the concave divided portion 12b of the garnish 1, which is bent toward the interior of the vehicle. The punch hole 1 corresponds to the punch hole 31a of the existing part 31.
5a is provided. Then, the screw 5 inserted through the punched hole 15a is screwed into the resin grommet 51 provided to match the punched hole 31a, thereby forming the extending portion 31 and the side wall 1 which form a bent portion toward the interior of the vehicle.
By screwing 5, the other end of the garnish 1 is fixed.

As described above, according to the mounting structure of the present invention, one end of the garnish 1 is attached to the panel A by first fitting the protrusion 16 provided on one side of the garnish 1 into the locking member 4 provided on the retainer 3, and then The side wall 1 of the divided portion 12b, which is a recess provided on the other side of the garnish 1, in the extending portion 31 formed on the retainer 3.
Attach the other end of the garnish 1 by screwing 5. According to the above mounting structure, one side of the garnish can be securely locked without any play, and even if there is some error between the one side and the retainer to which it is attached, the protrusion This can also be done reliably by slightly deforming the material and fitting it into the gap. In addition, the screws do not protrude from the body surface, giving it a very good appearance, and there are fewer screws to fix, reducing the effort required for installation. In addition, since one end of the garnish is locked in advance, the screwing position of the other end can be determined smoothly and workability is good.
